4 Hardware Migration
4.5

Operator control and monitoring

Various devices for visualization tasks are available in different versions. However,
the panels formerly used in combination with S7-300/S7-400 are discontinued. It is
therefore recommended to migrate Operator Panels (OP), Touch Panels (TP),
Multi or Mobile Panels (MP) to Basic Panels or Comfort Panels.
4.5.1

HMI hardware

When replacing the hardware, please note the requirements for the visualization
unit:
Display size/orientation (format change from 4:3 to 16:9, 4", 7", 9", 12", 15",
19", 22" and horizontal/vertical)
Installation dimensions/cut
Housing material (possibly special environmental conditions)
Type/number of interfaces (MPI, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, USB)
Data storage/storage options/memory size
Note A detailed guideline for migrating older panels to Comfort Panels is available at:

4.5.2

HMI software

Migrating the project which is part of the panel is possible. To do this, the project
has to be available for WinCC flexible 2008 SP2/SP3, otherwise migration is not
possible. If an older version of the project is available, you must first upgrade it to
reach this version. It is also possible to migrate a ProTool project in WinCC TIA
Portal. To do this, an intermediate step is required. The ProTool project has to be
migrated to WinCC flexible 2008 first. Then an upgrade to WinCC (TIA Portal) can
be performed.
Note Further information on the topic of migrating WinCC flexible to WinCC (TIA
Portal) is available in the respective guideline:
